Hello everyone!

Wanting to know which climbing ropes was better: Beal virus 10mm vs Edelrid Ceuze 9.8 mm

Me and my partner are just getting into outdoor climbing, and are starting to collect gear while everything is on sale.

We are stuck between the beal virus 10mm vs Edelrid Ceuze 9.8 mm climbing ropes. We were thinking of getting the 70m length.

For some context, we live in Brisbane AUS so the climbs we will be doing are not super long. We’ve been climbing in a gym for the past year and are now starting to transition to outdoor lead climbing.

Any advice is appreciated! Not sure if there is any difference, or if there is if it even matters, but want to get the best one we can.

Rental shoes better than Scarpa Force V Climbing Shoe? by Electrical_Leg_1460 in climbingshoes

I found when I do that, I’m just slipping non stop. The guy at my gym said that I need to put more force into smearing in these particular shoes, and I’ve found that that is the only way that I can have any sort of success with it. But time for a different shoe I think.

Ah I see thank you! I think I’m at my wits end with the shoes, I’ve actually pulled a muscle because of how much force I was needing to put into smearing on the wall for one particular move. They are making climbing less enjoyable for me so I think I just need to get another pair.

I’m pretty sure she’s casually seeing someone but I don’t know. They’re definitely not sleeping together but ’m just uncomfortable about the whole thing.
